BRENDON SPONGIE IS YOUR VICTOR.

BRENDON SPONGIE - 52.9%
UNREQUITED MARTIANS - 47.1%

[LR2M2] RESULTS!

In one week, the beginning of the end. Second Heaven will never be the same.

-

No tournament could be complete without a host, and the responsibility has fallen to the leader of the Zeta Protocol project, Dr. Scarlett Jones. Though tending to stay in the background, she's a brilliant scientist known the universe over as the one who finally cracked multiversal theory, her life's work leading to one moment. For some, this would be a crowning achievement. For her... it's just a step on the path to end the JEKL virus, and save humanity. With the help of the Zeta Protocol subjects, will her plan be enough?

Welcome to Second Heaven. Infectious is a mashup/arrangement tournament by Spark Records, inspired by projects such as King For Another Day and Mashup Week, with a heavy emphasis on a dark storyline. This project is best enjoyed on YouTube, but we will be uploading tracks here as well.

If you are interested in the storyline as it develops, please join our Discord as well. Both are found in the links section.

Please note that Infectious contains potentially triggering themes, such as disease, civil unrest, death, blood and gore (gore will not be visualized, only mentioned if it comes up), and more. We understand that this isn't for everyone, and we would like to ask that you know your limits. If you are not comfortable with any of these, it may be in your best interest to not follow this tournament for your own comfort.
